Subheading: The Perils of Recruitment
A word of caution, chum. Be sure your chosen friend has a strong constitution and a taste for the macabre. This ain't your average game of whist down at the vicarage.
###Method 2: The Calling Card Caper
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Feeling more James Bond than Mr. Sociable? This method's for you! The esteemed tradition of the Calling Card allows you to virtually tap metaphorical shoulders and say, "Fancy a spot of scandal?" It's a discreet way to introduce yourself and potentially forge new acquaintances.
Subheading: Calling Card Etiquette 101
A gentleman (or gentlewoman) always asks before sending a Calling Card. Nobody likes unsolicited social invitations, especially not in the Neath where your postman might be a particularly grumpy rat. Always check the forums or social media to see if your target is keen on some Neathy networking.
###Method 3: The Forums and the Fearsome Feast
The Neathy denizens are a chatty bunch (well, some of them). The official Fallen London forums and various online communities are teeming with folks looking to expand their social circles. Don't be shy! Mingle with the masses, share your thrilling (or utterly disastrous) adventures, and you might just find your new best corpse-acquaintance.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Subheading: A Feast for Friendship
Special events like the Feast of the Exceptional Rose are prime opportunities to hobnob with the Neathy elite. Dress up in your finest (or most unsettling) attire, partake in the festivities, and who knows? You might just charm your way into a higher social stratum.
